All of our pets were rescues.
When our daughter was a baby, still couldn’t walk, we had rescued a dog that was being abused by 4 guys that shared a house.
Our daughter was playing on the kitchen floor when that dog, totally unprovoked, got up from across the room and attacked her, thank God I was right there and prevented injury.
We had no idea what to do so we called some rescues, one of them said they could find a home with no children.
We couldn’t take a chance with our daughter but we didn’t take it out back and shoot it either
Noem’s not wrong about tough choices but for most of us one of the choices would never be shoot it.
